About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest dominates the northwestern portion of this East Texas landscape, where the managed timberlands of the Piney Woods meet the winding tributaries of Piney Creek. This area, updated in the early 2000s, reveals a rural network of logging tracks and service routes like Woods Road, supporting a local economy historically tied to forestry and small-scale resource extraction, as evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the forest boundary.

Settlement patterns are centered around the community of Trevat and the nearby Sulphur area. For family historians, the map preserves the locations of vital community anchors, including the Sulphur Springs Ch and several burial grounds such as Wagner Hill Cem and Abbott Springs Cem. The terrain is defined by low-lying drainages like Alabama Creek and White Oak Creek, punctuated by modest rises like Wagner Hill, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Trinity and Polk County borderlands.
